Chongqing

And the scale of the industry here is quite impressive.

It's spreading across the country, but largely concentrated in the central and western regions with Guizhou and Chongqing municipality in the southwest, leading in beekeeping and also in central China's Hunan and northwestern China's Gansu and southern China's Yunnan provinces, these provinces are all serving as major hubs for honey processing.

So mainly in the center to the southern part of the country, that's where you'll find the majority of the beekeepers.

Yeah, with a lot of terrain such as the mountainous areas covered in many of these provinces and cities I just mentioned.

So the industry is supported by a substantial network of beekeepers too, and also businesses.

Many practice migratory beekeeping, moving their hives across country to follow a more seasonal flower cycle.

Like I mentioned earlier, Guizhou in southwest China is a province, and Chongqing municipality, they are kind of neighboring, like right next to each other.

So it makes sense that depending on the weather, the climate change, and the temperature, beekeepers will just move their hives to the warmer place in the mountains.

But he was coming to Beijing, so we arranged for him to come to my favorite Sichuan restaurant in town.

It's a Chongqing restaurant, technically.

It's called Sanyangcai.

If you're ever in Beijing, you've got to try Saiyang Thai.

But China, definitely.

I want to go to, I think it's Chongqing City.

Is that what it's called? I don't know.

You were telling

Oh, yeah, I've seen Cyberpunk.

Guys, if you've watched anime and you've seen Cyberpunk and you know what I'm talking about.

The anime itself is based off of, I think it's Chongqing City.

Oh,

So what's going on here in China? given that context, is that how AI-assisted diagnosis is helping in rural healthcare sectors.

For example, in southwest China's Chongqing municipality, in its Xushan County, the local medical AI platforms has been deployed across county-level hospitals, township health centers, and village-level services too.

So that means that it's really bringing healthcare down from the very top-level kind of service to everyday life, to rural China, to more general public among us.

Yeah, because my mom used to work in one of these imaging departments in hospitals.

So it does seem perhaps that we're headed in that direction.

Well, I think when it comes to, for example, the point Yushan made before about standardizing, for example, traditional medicine, not only traditional Chinese medicine, but when it comes to traditional medicine across the world, of course, they need tools like AI.

For example, there is another sort of, I'm not sure if it's an experiment, but definitely a survey that regional medical AI implementations, such as the AI models from Chongqing have achieved nearly 100% of department matching accuracy for pre-triage.

And when it comes to traditional Chinese medicine, the AI systems from a certain group are reported to be able to perform at a level comparable to practitioners with three to five years of experience.

Extreme measures have been taken to guard against any foreign media attempts to interview Falun Gong practitioners in China, including expelling journalists from China, pressuring foreign news media, and forcing them to be silent by threatening to ban them from China.

After exposing the facts about the rape suffered in detention by Ms. Wei Xingyang, a Falun Gong practitioner and graduate student at Chongqing University.

Seven Falun Gong practitioners in Chongqing were charged and given long prison terms.

At Tsinghua University alone, over a dozen teachers and students were given long prison terms for handing out materials on Falun Gong.

On March 5, 2002, the cable television network in Changchun City was tapped into to air the real story about the self-immolation to the Chinese public.

Where did you say you were originally from?

I'm originally from Chongqing, the most famous in the west of the world right now.

Chongqing, China.

Okay.

Got it.

I'm from the southwest.

He lives in the northeast of China.

Chongqing.

Yeah, I would love to go.

I want to go to Chongqing so bad.

Chongqing.

Chongqing.

Yeah, same.

I would love to go back there.
